Twilight is the #1 Christmas Movie of 2008 because...do I even need to say it? Didn't you hear all those screaming fans over at Comic Con during the Twilight panel? And even if I wasn't screaming, I am as excited about the movie. Plus I am a big fan of Catherine Hardwicke's films. I just love her style of filmmaking. Her previous films include Thirteen and Lords of Dogtown. And don't even get me into how good the book is. Twilight is definitely #1 this Christmas. |

Release Date: 19 December 2008
Thoughts: Animation movies always look really cute, but that doesn't mean that the story always follows. Even though The Tale of Despereaux looks very well done, I think I'm going to hold off until it comes out on DVD. I have a feeling this one is going to be a little too much for the kids and not enough for the adults.
